Lawn Fertilization and Weed Control

08. Apr, 2011 Comments Off

Nitrogen Lawn Fertilizer and Weed Control

        The constant rain of April is giving way to the first wave of Crab Grass! This means it’s about time to start fertilizing your lawn! If you want greener grass in your lawn, a nitrogen based fertilizer is your first step. Total Lawn Care uses Nitrogen fertilizer because of it’s life-giving properties, as Nitrogen is a vital element in turf’s growth process. Too much Nitrogen fertilizer, however, can seep through groundwater and into Michigan’s waterways! This is why we recommend having a MDA Certified Spray Technician apply ANY chemicals or fertilizer to your lawn. Total Lawn Care Inc. is a Healthy Lawn Care Provider for Watershed Protection, and we care about our environment!

        If you would like to meet with one of Turfgrass specialists to create a fertilizer plan that fits your lawn, call us at 248-588-1694 info@totallawncareinc.com, or Click Here to use our Online Request to schedule an appointment for a free estimate!

Tips: Cut it high, and leave the clippings please!

23. Mar, 2011 Comments Off

Lawn Cutting 3" Height

        By keeping your grass height at 3″, the turf will create a natural barrier against weeds and other unwanted vegetation. When mowing a lawn, always remember: Taller blades of grass promotes longer root growth, and shades out weeds!

        Lawn Mowing clippings are a natural turf fertilizer. They are a wonderful source of Nitrogen (What is commonly found in almost all fertilizers!), and can reduce the need for additional fertilizer by up to 25%!

Fertilize with a Healthy Lawn Care Provider!

23. Mar, 2011 Comments Off

        When choosing the type of fertilizer you will be using, always choose “Earth Friendly”. Living in Michigan, we need to do everything we can to protect our waterways.

Landscape Care Program

        A great way to do this is by following SOCWA’s Healthy Lawn Care Program for Watershed Protection. The program consists of several guidelines designed to help protect our waterways, while still keeping the nice lush lawn we all desire. Some of the guidelines include avoiding “Weed-and-Feed” combination products that add many unnecessary chemicals to our landscape. These “Blanket” applications often effect insects and other vegetation beyond the intended target, and are wasted. Looking for a Lawn Fertilization Company? Make sure they are a Healthy Lawn Care Provider like Total Lawn Care! Do your part, protect our waterways! Call us at 248-588-1694 info@totallawncareinc.com, or Click Here to use our Online Request to get a free estimate! We have office staff during regular business hours standing by to take your call!

Pink and Grey Snow Mold Patches

08. Apr, 2011 Comments Off

Snow Mold Treatment and FungicidesSnow Mold Fungus is unfortunately a very common occurrence here in Michigan. Often times Snow Mold shows up as either a grey or pink patch in the area where large amounts of snow has melted. Edges of driveways and street curbs are the most common places Snow Mold shows up. Snow Mold is not always easy to diagnose. Some of the tell-tale signs are white areas of turf in which grass blades are dead, bleached, and clumped together. Even though the sight of Snow Mold is a cause for concern, it rarely causes permanent damage. Gray Snow Mold typically damages just the blades of grass, and can generally be combated by a light raking of the area and a spring application of fertilizer. Pink Snow Mold, on the other hand, can invade the roots and crowns of turf and cause more extensive damage to the grass.

Although Snow Mold is a fungi, fungicide applications are generally not recommended for residential lawns except in extreme cases. Spring Fertilizers generally have a concentration of salt, which is healthy for soil and helps remove the fungus. This is the most often used form of treatment, and least chemical intensive.

If you think you may have Snow Mold damage to your lawn, please call us to have one of our Turf Specialists visit your property to diagnose your lawn. Call us at 248-588-1694 info@totallawncareinc.com, or Click Here to use our Online Request to schedule an appointment for a free!
